This Sunday and next, we will be joined by the Rev. James W. Farwell, Ph. D., Professor of Theology and Liturgy at Virginia Theological Seminary and The General Theological Seminary. Dr. Farwell has decades of experience as a priest and teacher and has written several books on liturgy (a fancy term that describes the church’s public worship of God.) These two Sunday sessions are being coined “Episcopal 101” and “Liturgics 101,” and Dr. Farwell will explore and explain what makes our beliefs and practices unique. Why do we say certain prayers when we do? Which is more important, the sermon or communion? What makes Episcopalians different from Methodists or Presbyterians? Please join us in the conference room at 10 a.m. for what are sure to be two entertaining and informative sessions! 

We are excited to have another year of rich camaraderie and learning with our middle and high school youth groups! They will likely meet on alternate Sundays at 10 a.m., but may choose other options based on the desire of the group. Please sign up here - we can't wait to hang with you!

We will come together to remember the life of Nick Pontius, son of Ruth and John, next Saturday, September 21, at 2 p.m., followed by a reception. The memorial for former parishioner, Inez Lester, will take place on Saturday, October 12, at 4 p.m. All are welcome to pay respects at both.

We are thrilled to welcome Erin Bowers to our community as a seminarian, beginning next Sunday, September 15. A biochemist by trade, Erin works as a patent examiner for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and just started her first year at General Theological Seminary. She lives in Petworth with her husband, Jason, and two silly cats. Outside of work and church, she enjoys powerlifting and reading epic fantasy novels.

Please join dedicated volunteers Del & Barb Crandall, members of the Outreach Committee, and fellow parishioners at the "In This Together" Community Walk for Calvary Women's Services on Saturday, October 5, at 10 a.m. at Anacostia Park. Please register and join the Christ Church team, or - if you're not up for the walk - make a donation here towards their goal of $75,000 to support growing demand for their housing, health, education and employment services. 

Thank you SO much for your support of our partner, Everyone Home DC, this summer. In addition to the 100 hygiene kits packed in July, Christ Church donated 70 pallets of water (that's roughly 1,400 bottles!) to Shirley's Place, EHDC's day center. You also raised $4,590 in support of their back-to-school campaign. Many, many thanks go to Robbie Curry, Alan Dinsmore, Barb & Del Crandall, John Billington, and Deb Hodge for delivering water, and to all of you who donated to our Outreach fund!

Any funds donated to the Outreach fund through the end of October will go to our partner, Good Neighbors Capitol Hill, for their work resettling refugees in the area.

Join us via Zoom this Friday, September 13, at 7 p.m. to to discuss Flesh and the Devil (1926), the classic silent film melodrama starring Greta Garbo. Part of our conversation will focus on how the movie presages movie censorship in the 1930s. Available for free viewing on The Internet Archive, Tubi, and PLEX.  With questions, contact Paul Laymon or Ellen Psychas.
